Stephanie Kelly, LCSW
Hello, I’m so glad you’re here!
Are you a high-achieving individual who often feels overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in perfectionism? You’ve spent so much energy holding it all together, for everyone else, that now you’re wondering when it gets to be your turn. At Thrive and Bloom, we provide online therapy for smart, sensitive, and driven individuals in Maryland, DC, and Virginia who are ready to feel more grounded, present, and empowered. Therapy here is a collaborative space to unpack the pressure and grow into a life that actually feels like yours.
Online therapy for perfectionists, deep feelers and overthinkers—because thriving should feel like freedom, not exhaustion.
About Us
Thrive and Bloom was created with one core belief: you don’t need to be fixed—you need to be heard, supported, and seen as a whole person. This practice exists to help high-functioning, high-achievers move beyond chronic anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, grief, imposter syndrome, or just tired of the pressure to always “do more,” therapy can offer a reset.
Rooted in warmth, depth, and a touch of humor, our work is designed to meet you exactly where you are and help move forward with clarity and self-trust.
Based in Maryland, offering telehealth across the DMV.
What to Expect
At Thrive and Bloom Counseling, therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply human. It's not about “fixing” anyone—because our clients are not broken. Instead, therapy is a space to quiet the inner critic, release patterns that no longer serve, and create space for clarity, courage, and self-trust.
Each client is unique, and treatment is always tailored to the individual. Thrive and Bloom draws from a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and self-compassion practices. Rather than following a rigid formula, care is adapted to meet the specific needs, goals, and lived experiences of each person.
When clients bring concerns or goals outside of existing specialties, time is taken to research and deepen knowledge—ensuring therapy is grounded in up-to-date, evidence-informed care. Every client deserves support that is thoughtful, responsive, and aligned with their values.
At Thrive and Bloom, therapy is a space to reconnect with resilience, set down the weight of perfectionism and overthinking, and begin moving through life with more ease, intention, and self-trust.
